Abstract: An optical system for a camera may include a lens group having a plurality of lenses, a prism, and an image sensor. The prism may be positioned, optically, between the plurality of lenses and the image sensor along the optical transmitting path of the light. The prism may include at least four surfaces, which may fold the light within the prism at least four times to guide the light from the plurality of lenses passing through the prism to the image sensor. The prism may include multiple prisms joined together using an optical cement. The prism may include one or more aperture masks inside the prism to reduce flare.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to camera modules that incorporate an optically absorptive grating that is positioned and designed to reduce the impact of stray light on images captured by the camera modules. Specifically, the optically absorptive grating is configured to absorb light that is incident on the optically absorptive grating. The optically absorptive grating includes an array of protrusions, and in some instances may be part of a grating assembly that is coupled to an optical component.

Abstract: A base station that determines a slot for uplink reception for a non-terrestrial network link between a base station and a user equipment is described. In exemplary embodiments, the base station determines a timing advance based on at least a random access preamble reception and determines an uplink offset based on the timing advance. The base station may further determine a candidate slot for an uplink reception based on at least the offset. In addition, the base station may determine if the candidate slot is available for the uplink reception. The base station may use the candidate slot for the uplink reception when the candidate uplink slot is available and may use the next available slot for the uplink reception when the candidate uplink slot is not available.

Abstract: A receiver with feed-forward equalization is disclosed. A receiver includes a delay circuit configured to receive a first signal that encodes a serial data stream having a plurality of data symbols. The delay circuit includes at least one T-coil circuit and is configured to generate a plurality of delayed signals using the first signal. The receiver further includes a front-end circuit configured to generate an equalized signal using the at first signal and one or more delayed signals of the plurality of delayed signals. A sample circuit is configured to sample the equalized signal to generate a plurality of samples. A recovery circuit configured to generate a plurality of recovered data symbols using the plurality of samples.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with pixels configured to display an image. The pixels may be overlapped by a cover layer. The display may have peripheral edges with curved cross-sectional profiles. An inactive area in the display may be formed along a peripheral edge of the display or may be surrounded by the pixels. Electrical components such as optical components may be located in the inactive area. An image transport layer may be formed from a coherent fiber bundle or Anderson localization material. The image transport layer may overlap the pixels, may have an opening that overlaps portions of the inactive area, may have an output surface that overlap portions of the inactive area, and/or may convey light associated with optical components in the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device may receive, at a first system routine from a client application, a provisioning request indicating that the application includes code for evaluating a machine learning model, wherein the first system routine executes in user space of memory on the device. The device may provision the code for execution on one or more of the circuit engines. The device may receive, at a second system routine from the application, an inference request for evaluating the machine learning model containing input data, wherein the second system routine executes in kernel space of memory on the device. The device may receive, at the second system routine, information about the circuit engines. The device may assign the inference request to one or more of the circuit engines where the request is evaluated. The device may provide a result of the inference request to the application.

Abstract: Wearable head-mounted displays, such as virtual reality systems, present immersive experiences and environments to a wearer. However, the head-mounted displays, as well as the immersive environments that they produce, limit the wearer's ability to interact with outside observers. For example, a wearer may not be able to see outside observers, and outside observers may not have any insight to what the wearer is experiencing or where the wearer's attention is directed. Accordingly, a wearable electronic device may include an outward-facing display configured to display information to outside observers, such as images of the wearer's face or images that represent or indicate the state of the wearer and/or the head mounted display.
